[Tumor markers in the monitoring of ovarian cancer].
This study was carried out to determine the serum level of Ca125, LSA (lipid associated sialic acid) and AGP (alpha acid glycoprotein) in 50 patients with ovarian tumors. Among 30 patients with ovarian cancer, 12 reacted to all three markers, 22 reacted to two markers and 27 reacted to one marker. The sensitivities of LSA and CA125 were 60% and 77%, respectively and the specificities were 85% and 90%. A sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 95%, when the two markers were used in combination.
